Re-lifed Polytech

Back in early September of last year I bought a side stamped Polytech M14SA with the overtime money I earned working during Hurricane Irene.
Since I have a standard length Springfield Armory M1A I decided to have the Poly rebuilt as a bush rifle to go with my FAL carbine.
I did some shopping around and bought a bush length barrel, HK style gas lock front sight, Knights Armament RAS and VLTOR mod stock and used a Smith Ent. Direct connect Vortec flash eliminator and extended bolt stop.
I got word from my gunsmith today that she's done and will be return shipped this week I hope.
Heres a before and after picture.

I like it!
On occassion I see Poly's for sale up here. I thought about snagging one to go along with my Springfield M1A.
Regardless, I like the bush concept. What length barrel do you have???

Looks like 18-18.5" to me.

Nice rifle. I really like those Vltor stocks. Unfortunately they're unobtanium up here.

Thanks Steveo, you probably wouldnt believe it, but some of the rifles you guys can get up your way are only dreams down here.
